Because if you wait it looks reactionary and like you're trying cover your mistake.

I'm not sure if they have been unapologetic. I've seen hundreds of different statements credited to them by people who want this to be a white nationalist campaign. Have they actually released a real statement or are you trusting memes that say what you want to believe?

Their statement was, basically, this add is about Jeans, only about jeans, Sweeney looks great in our jeans, and we sell jeans that give people confidence and make them look good. Then they put Sweeny on the Big Ball in Vegas. That's pretty unapologetic.

It takes a special kind of brainwashed useful idiot to politically defend government fraud, waste, and abuse.

Pretty much what I just typed, but paraphrased. Google is your friend.

Only stupid people with low IQs thought this ad was racist or promoting nazi talk but most people are in fact stupid and their opinions are easily are made up by talking heads with an agenda.

The unfortunate reality is that stupid Nazis immediately jumped on this as an ad for them.

Still waiting.

For you to identify these Nazis and white nationalists that jumped on board the dog whistle call that you think this ad was.

Where are they? Surely you have proof.

How many people do you know that have talked about this when face to face? I don't know a single person. For me, the only backlash I've seen is online and I take that with a grain of salt.

If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.
